Belgian Mole (part 2)

Episode 5


Dominiek had to leave. He couldn't believe how much money he threw away. If only he had chosen the cheque...

 

Day 11
It's morning. We see a shot of a note hanging upside down on the door. It says: 'THE MOLE CAN CRY TO!!!!'
Then we see a shot of Hugo swimming in the pool. Carine is the first one to notice the note. She reads it out loud and then looks at the camera and starts laughing nervously.
They have a total amount of 570.000 BEF in the kitty. Tomorrow they will finally see someone from their family. But today they have to do another challenge. They have to split up in three teams. One team must be skilful, another team must be smart and the other team is stupid. The skilful team is Hugo and Marianne, the smart team Eef and David and the stupid team Carine and Niki. The teams have to find the hotel they are staying at that night. They have until 8.00 pm to find it. If all the teams find the hotel in time, they'll win 50.000 BEF. The group that can't find the hotel must find a place to sleep themselves. Michiel:"We can't take any risks, so we take the stupid team to the hotel straight away." So Niki and Carine are taken to te hotel.
Hugo and Marianne find a van with an envelope on it. In the envelope are pictures of the route they have to follow. In the van there are lots of things, like a motorbike, a bike, a skateboard and even some chickens! They have to put the tires on the van to get started. But nothing of the things they got, is working properly.
Eef and David get a cassette. They hear that they have to drive to Algar to find the village idiot at the town hall.
Meanwhile Michiel tells Carine and Niki:"Of course you aren't stupid. You can even be the smartest today. If you can deceive the smart team so that they don't arrive here, you'll win 200.000 BEF instead of 50.000 BEF. But then the skilful team must still get here in time." They decide do deceive the smart team. They get a book where they can find the answers of the questions Eef and David get. Niki calls Eef to tell her they are there to help them. David tells them to wait a while, because they still have to drive to Algar. They will phone back if they're there.
Hugo is driving very fast on a bumpy road. The suspension of the van isn't that great, so he and Marianne are shaken from one side to the other. Marianne starts screaming. After a while it's calmed down and Marianne says:"This challenge will work out fine, right?" Hugo:"It depends what you mean with that. I'll always follow you, because you can be the Mole too!". Then the van breaks down. All the things they have aren't ok. They continue by motorbike and bike. Behind the bike they tied a cart with the other stuff in it. Marianne (on the motorbike) pulls Hugo (on bike) up a hill with a rope. But again some things go wrong. The chain of the bike falls off. They fix it and a few moments later the cart comes off and bangs against the rail.
The smart team has reached Algar and they find the village idiot, who gives them a question: When was the chapel of the virgin of Guadelupe built? (a)1764 (b)1772 (c)1784. Each answer leads to another village. The village idiot will be waiting for them in the correct village. They call Niki and Carine and tell them the question. They look it up and see the correct answer, but they deliberatley gave the false answer to Eef and David. So they drive to the wrong village. When they arrive there, they can't find the man. Eef thinks they are in the wrong village, because the village idiot would always be at the town hall. David doesn't understand it, because Niki and Carine had confirmed the answer. He can't use his cell-phone from where he is now, so he asks someone if he can call to Niki and Carine.
David:"We're in the wrong place."
Niki:"What do you mean, you're at the wrong place?"
David:"That man isn't here, so I want a check-up to see if the answer you gave was correct. I want you to check that year again and I also want Carine to confirm it."
Carine confirms everything and hands the horn back to Niki. Now Niki tells them the year is 1764. David:"So how come you just told me it was 1784?" Carine:"Niki, how's that possible?" David:"OK I know enough!"
Eef doesn't understand it and asks David why they said it was 1784 and way they say it's 1764 now. David tells her one of them must be lying.
Meanwhile we see that Marianne's motorbike breaks down. She can't fix it anymore. Hugo goes past her on his bike. He goes downhill. But when Marianne gets at the end of the hill, she sees the bike lying in a ditch with the cart and all. The chain went of it and Hugo couldn't hold it anymore. So he continues on foot and Marianne on skateboard. Hugo runs very fast. Marianne:"Hugo, calm down a little!" Then she starts thinking about the challenge. If she doesn't make it on time she must sleep outside. "I hope we get there before 8 o'clock or I'll go crazy!"
Eef and David arrive in Arcos de la Frontera. They try to find the village idiot. But they can't find him. It's 7.42 pm. David:"We're in the right place, but we're too late."
Niki is waiting anxiously outside the hotel. "I just called Eef and David. They're in Arcos de la Frontera. They won't make it on time anymore. Let's just hope the others will." So Niki and Carine's plan worked, they could deceive David and Eef. But the 200.000 BEF now depends from the handy group. Hugo is far ahead of Marianne. Niki runs towards them. They think they've already reached the hotel, but Niki ran a long way to support them on the last meters. She tells Marianne and Hugo to just leave the stuff (the cart and the skateboard) behind and run. It's 7.55 pm. Five minutes left. Hugo runs very fast. Marianne can't keep up and starts coughing. She stops to get some air. 7.57 pm. Hugo:"Come on, Marianne, hurry!" Marianne:"Yeah yeah, wait a second!" They finally reach the hotel at 7.58 pm. They win 200.000 BEF. Carine calls David to explain everything. He and Eef don't mind sleeping in the car for 200.000 BEF.

Day 12
David
and Eef arrive at the hotel in the morning. Together they have breakfast. Michiel:"There's some good news, because you'll finally see someone of your family again today. But you'll have to wait a little, 'cause you'll have to play for it." Everybody sighs. They thought they would just have a nice day with their family, but they have to win the challenge first. They have to play blackjack. Everyone gets 4 passes. In each game they have to stake one pass. For every pass they get they can pass a question in the questionnaire. The contestant that wins the game gets all the staked passes and can go downstairs to play another game. Downstairs there are 12 people: 6 real family members and 6 lookalikes. The contestant has to put the right family member with the right person. When it's not entirely correct, the people that were placed correctly can stay, and the others have to go back to their seats. They have to get everyone right in order to win the challenge. They only get 4 turns, because then there will be no passes left.
First game: Carine quits, Niki draws and then quits, Eef draws and quits, Marianne draws 2 times and quits, David also draws 2 times and quits, Hugo quits. Carine has 20 and so does Niki. Eef, Marianne and David are over 21. And Hugo has blackjack. So he gets the 6 staked passes and he can try to place the family members. He only has two people right: his own granddaughter and Marianne's dad. The other contestants upstairs aren't allowed to talk about their family. David says it can't be that difficult because some of them showed pictures before this challenge began. But then Carine gets angry at him, because they weren't allowed to talk about it. Hugo comes back upstairs, but he can't tell anything to the others.
Second game: It ends with a draw between Niki and Marianne. So they play again. Niki wins the passes and tries to put the people at the right places. She has them all correct!
So both Niki and Hugo have 8 passes and the others have 2 (passes to pass on a question in the questionnaire). And they can also see their visitors.
What do the visitors think about the one they visit? Could he or she be the Mole?
Marianne's father:"It could be possible. It wouldn't surprise me if she was."
Carine's husband:"I don't think so. She can't lie enough. At least not to me!"
Hugo's grand daughter:"Sometimes I think he is, and sometimes I think he isn't. It could be possible."
Niki's daughter:"I think she can be the Mole. She can hide things easily and sometimes she can be a great lyer."
David's father:"I think he can handle it, because he can toy with people and lead them astray easily."
Eef's niece:"She could handle it, because psychically she's very strong. But to me she's definitely not the Mole."

Day 13
Their next challenge is on sea. Their family members are with them. They hav to reach a harbour 20 kilometers further. They can win 100.000 BEF with it. They get some help. They can use a jetski, a surfboard, a sailing boat, diving equipment, an inflatable dinghy and waterski's. But they can only use each means of transportation once. Carine takes the jetski. But it's one where you have to stand up. She finds it very difficult and falls a lot. After 2 kilometers she gives up. Eef is getting seasick. "I knew that if someone would get seasick, it would be me!" Marianne prepares to go in the inflatable dinghy. But she doesn't really like water nor fish. "I'd rather have fish on my plate with some potatoes!" She's sitting in the dinghy rather uncomfortable. And she can't really row properly, because the oar is made of plastic and folds each time she puts it in the water. She gets angry and after 20 meters she stops. David tries the surfboard. "It didn't work out with Carine. Normally with that jetski, we must have been able to do at least 10 kilometers." Hugo decides to swim a little, because every little helps. David can't surf with the sail and so he swims with the board under him. The women prepare the sailing boat. Every woman, except Eef who's still fighting against the seasickness. "I'll never get on a boat again. Not even for 5 million BEF!" Hugo is brought to the place where David stoppped. His sailing boat keels over. Everybody is laughing at him. He can get 500 meters further. Eef goes diving, but she doesn't really hurry. She stops very quick, because she can't get speed. Niki is the final contestant. She is the only one who has ever done watskiing before. When the boat of the waterski's starts, Marianne gets a lot of seawater in her face. "And I don't even like water!" Niki can't hold on, because the distance is too far. She gives up. They lose the challenge.

Suspicions
Niki
:"I'm not gonna change my mind anymore. I did it once and I was terrified. So I'll keep on playing on that person."
Marianne:"In the beginning I had 3: Carine, Hugo and Dominiek. In that order. I have to chose and I go for Hugo."
Hugo:"I thought Carine would have done a bit better today."
Carine:"I'm sticking with Eef, because she's so social and playful. I think she can deceive people easily."
Eef:"No, I'm not 100 % sure. I do have a suspicion and I won't change my mind anymore."
David:"I'll never say I'm 200 % sure of it anymore, because I already said that with Dominiek."

Suspicious for the viewers:
Niki and Carine were eager to deceive Eef and David.
Eef and Davidjust swallowed everything Niki and Carine said.
Marianne started huffing and puffing when they were almost at the hotel.
Hugo had blackjack with just 2 cards and he only had two people correct.
No one did well in the sea challenge.
